the_o same_o which_o be_v not_o before_o by_o his_o holy_a will_n express_v in_o his_o word_n but_o the_o cause_n of_o counsel_n we_o mean_v of_o such_o as_o merit_v the_o name_n of_o counsel_n be_v

with_o the_o body_n and_o blood_n of_o christ_n jesus_n in_o the_o right_a use_n of_o the_o sacrament_n be_v wrought_v by_o operation_n of_o the_o holy_a ghost_n who_o by_o true_a faith_n carry_v we_o
